There are other concerns accused students’ advocates have about campus tribunals, but policy tweaks will have little impact on how tribunals are conducted as long as the people overseeing them remain in place, said attorney Andrew Miltenberg, who frequently represents college students accused of sexual assault. “The greater issue is that most universities now are staffed with people who have a very definitive view of these cases and how these matters should unfold,” said Miltenberg. “Most of the people in the positions of power and decision-making spots, like Title IX coordinators or investigators, or policymakers, are people who have a victims’ rights background or victim-centric experiences.”
